Drabble/ short poetry

Crack

 

From the Todarovics to us in our new house

The gift of wood laminate on the floor upstairs

Clean and modern and to our taste

At least until we moved in to the place

 

What seemed to be contract quality was not

They were big gaps to the walls behind some of the doors

Arguably where it mattered less

But coin size gaps are near the walls in the bedroom and so I cant sleep

 

Now Im not obsessive about nooks and crannies

But Ill have to move furniture in front of those cracks
